The Lady Panthers knocked off two good teams on their march toward a win over Owen County in the North American Stainless Classic on Tuesday, Dec. 23.

“This was a total team effort,” said Head Coach Randy Mefford. “It was a really hard-fought game, and it was tied at 39-all with three minutes to go. We shut them down, totally, winning the game 46-39. This was some pretty tough competition.”

Tuesday night the Raiders traveled to Owenton to face the Owen County Rebels in a conference match up. Though the Raiders came in the game with high hopes of beating a top conference team following their win against rival Carroll County a week before, Owen shattered that dream 40-74.

Trimble County absolutely tormented Kentucky Country Day when the Raiders played host to the Bearcats Dec. 11. The Raiders came in to the game with focus and ultimately pulled off a big win, 83-59.

Last winter, Trimble County met KCD on the court but left empty-handed with an overtime loss that may have been won with better concentration at the free throw line. This time around, the team was determined not to make the same mistakes.

The Carroll County Panther football team is still garnering awards as the 2A District 5 and the North Central Kentucky Conference gave out honors recently.

First year player, junior Andy Sisenstein, was named 2A District 5 player of the year and Coach Mike Weedman was named coach of the year in the district and also the NCKC co-coach of the year along with Tim Browning of Gallatin County.

Watching rivals Trimble and Carroll counties go head to head in any sport is always entertaining and last Thursday’s boys basketball game was no different. When it was all over, the Raiders had regained the confidence they lacked in a match-up two days prior against the Henry County Wildcats and brought home the win 67-57.

The 4-3 Trimble County Raiders took on Oldham County in a double header Dec. 19 that featured the boys and girls varsity teams. Following their 59-48 victory against the Colonels, the boys went on to defeat Walton Verona the following night. They will play in the National Guard Holiday Classic at Larue County beginning Dec. 27. The girls fell to the Colonels 42-49 before losing to Carroll County in the North American Stainless Classic the next night. The Lady Raiders, 1-5 on the season, will return to play Jan. 2 at home against Whitefield Academy.

Will Yager, was named NCKC player of the week for the week ending Dec. 8.

Yager, a 6’2” junior on the Panthers varsity squad, scored 19 points against Owen County shooting 4 for 6 field goals, 1 for 4 from behind the arc and 8 for 8 from the charity stripe, all while holding his man scoreless for the contest.

Yager is an extremely talented shooter and has stepped up his defense this year.
